(Note: I originally wrote this review on Epinions.com but decided it d probably be of more use over here, so I ve moved it over.)
Summary: Very pretty pictures of beaded accessories but lacks full instructional technique.
Cons: Too short. Illustrations sloppy, instructions a bit vague
Unless you re already experienced in making these designs or just looking for ideas rather than a start-to-finish project blueprint, you re better off buying a few of the latest beading magazines.
Antique Style Bead Accessories is written by bead shop owner and jewelry artist Matsuko Sawanobori.
I didn t look up further info on her, but in the About the author section in back of the book it says she s been involved with jewelry design for near 15 years and has had her work featured both in television and magazines. So she probably knows a thing or two about making jewelry.
